Here’s my advice for next time in widespread flooding, turn around . You can’t see what obstacles are under the surface that can damage your car, you can’t see if all or part of the road is washed away , you don’t know when the next creek,river or culvert is about to dump a significant amount of additional water into the road . Hence the term flash flood....

Although from your pics that doesn’t seem to be very deep at that time , but things change very fast .

As for ignoring the “ not an Officer “ , well sure in these incidents they get tied up quickly, and you may have a volunteer FF in street clothes , Joe from the highway Dept, who,knows helping out .

Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

X2! When it snows, I love riding around town in the Jeep and pulling people out of the ditch.

We used to have a bunch of tv and radio ads playing "Turn around...don't drown...your car is not a boat." Of course, down south, we say, "Hey y'all!!! Hold my beer and watch this." You're on the way to being a good southerner, Seth. I'll help you put that Mercedes on blocks in your front yard the next time I'm up there.

LOVE huge snowstorms and getting the range on the road.

Tons of fun.

Next time I’m there, I’ll do that for sure.

Should be soon.

If you don't call and let me know, I'll start a thread on TRF shaming you.

Greenville area, correct? I am only a little over an hour from there. We can drive your way!

Sparkle City. I can get to Road Atlanta in about 2 and half hours. You must be near the outlet mall in Commerce. Steve is right down the road from you just NE of Atlanta. I think we should have a Greenville GTG. That would be a relatively easy drive for local guys around me, Asheville, Charlotte, Columbia, etc to drive in. All of those cities are within 2 hours.

He is even in the same time zone. Completely unacceptable.

I'd sign up for a Greenville GTG! I went to school in Clinton, so I have spent lots of time in the Upstate.

I put a set a Bridgestone Blizzaks on my Sequoia, really turned it into a beast in the snow. Makes a huge difference even when compared to M&S tires.

Be careful out there Seth. Snow can be and is a lot of fun. Water on the other hand can and will kill you. Living out here in monsoon land I cant tell you how many lifted F-250 Super Duty Dualies I’ve seen instantly turned into bobbers. Enjoy the RRS!...in the snow.
